Power Rangers

[Bowie]

Who remembers them? There's a new film coming out for them, in case you haven't heard.

They were the only remotely boyish thing I liked as a child, and I also met the Wild Force Red Ranger at a department store when I was little (which I still remember there being a huge line for) and got a hug and stuff. Really nice memories!

omg omg my fave movie for a long time was the 1995 one with Ivan Ooze!! it's so funny because it's filmed in Sydney, so they're just rollerskating along being all American and all of a sudden it's like "is that the Harbour Bridge??" (I live in Sydney so it was really bizarre ahaha)

from memory the trailer looks pretty meh, but I'll probably watch it anyway aha

i remember getting up at 6am just to watch them & sonic the hedgehog

I heard the new movie will have cool CGI monsters instead of interns in monster costumes like the show...

ye I watched Power Rangers Mystic Force everyday after The Adventures of Jackie Chan on Jetix for like a year

I love the original ones, I watched a few new ones and stopped after turbo. I grew up on the MMPR. However, watching the episodes now, it's super cheesy. I just bought a power ranger figure yesterday too lol

 

[AquaStrudel]

GO GO POWER RANGERS! Sometimes I would watch the episodes just to count how many explosions there were

That would be a shame.

 

[Antonio]

That would be a shame.

No it wouldn't, it would be modern and cooler.

Sure, but Power Rangers are neither.

Sure, but Power Rangers are neither.

It could be though.

I've always thought the series had the potential to be something much more than the childish nonsense it was in its early years. I think it should start a new canon especially for the new film series, and maybe get rid of the dumb "five teenagers in school who save the world" format.

But, to be honest, the concept doesn't appeal to me a whole lot now anyway. I think my favourite part was just the designs of the characters. The story itself seems a little boring. There are a lot of ways they could spice things up if they wanted to.

 

[Stalfos]

It could be though.

I guess, if that's what you're going for. I like my Power Rangers with a ton of cheese though!

Has anyone realized about the new shows? They keep copy-pasting every single plot that has happened. The same characters with different actors. And worse, the overuse of explosions. I still don't know why I watch that show, what is wrong with me...

 

[littletwinclouds]

i love how on the tv shows you can tell that when they turn into their "power ranger forms" they just use the footage of the original japanese shows - the actors are way slimmer, and sometimes the background even has japanese text
it just adds to the campiness, it's the best

I watched it all growing up, but I don't know how to feel about the new movie, because it looks like it's going to be "realistic" villians and with good graphics and stuff, but the whole charm I remember from my childhood was the super weird looking monsters and the horrible cheesy graphics. So I mean I don't know how I'd feel about it, maybe if the acting is bad enough it will still be good. XD

I was never crazy about them, but I did kind of like them lol. My brother was the real PR fan, but I always played with his PR stuff. We had a Gameboy Advance game for them and a bunch of action figures. I also watched the show whenever I caught it on TV.

 

[RainbowCherry]

Ack, I remember, they had a different series all the time. It was a nice show, I liked it. All I remember is Galaxy Force and that movie when all the rangers from all the different shows fought against these corrupt versions. That one crying boy turning into the corrupt red ranger scared me!

 

[Antonio]

This show was the bomb, with prefect graphics and CGI realistic monsters, you shouldn't watch the show then if u like that kind of stuff.

 

[lostineverfreeforest]

Watched it a lot as a kid but all these years later I don't really remember much about it. The new movie looks pretty crap TBH, but trailers have fooled me before.
